“We’re stuck with this mindset of being OK with losing. ... It’s sad.” - Sabres’ Ryan O’Reilly, who says he lost his love of the game at times.

O’Reilly: “Last day. A lot of self reflection. I think I have to be mentally tougher, I think I can improve that. It’s not about what I think, it’s about what I do. It starts... Читать дальше...

It's time. This team might be the first team i just disengaged from. I felt nothing when they lost. No excitement for Dahlin. No sadness for the loss.

Botterill needs to drop the hammer. Idk on who and frankly I don't care but he needs to burn out the lazy, passengers that infect that locker room.

I think he's made up his mind and his judgements are coming. At least they better be.

This forum is always good for advice on topics outside of hockey and I bet this will be no different. I know Bio has regaled us with stories of her house nightmares, so maybe others have things to contribute?

Although home-ownership not in our immediate plans, Josie and I talk frequently about our desire to stop throwing money into the apartment rental void. Our lives are still a little too unpredictable at the moment, but I think within the next two years I want to take a stab at it.

It’s a given that Linus Ullmark will get one spot.
Who is his partner?

I wasn't going to make this topic so soon (we have a whole summer, after all, but I have some other stuff planned for then) but it has come up in the last few GDTs, because our goalies can't stop beach balls, but our defense! But our goalies.

What's the game plan for the Sabres next season? What expectations for the 2018/19 season do you have? Can they become a playoff team or are we still "a couple of years away"?

Well...

Preseason schedule is out.

2017-18 season schedules are coming out 3 o'clock this Thursday.

Did you here that Ott is now an Assistant Coach for the Blues?

I think there is a thread for this already, but I could not find it.

A good friend and I watched *Tooth Fairy* last evening.

He got it for his kids to watch in 2010.  It was really good, surprisingly enough.  A hockey themed tooth fairy tale.  Two grown men with tears in their eyes at the happy ending.

Preliminary Prospect Rankings are now coming out.  

Craig Button released his yesterday:

You are seeing more and more Dmen under 6'0 on these lists.

Kids I will be keeping a close eye on this year are:

1) Adam Boqvist - Swedish RHD. Arguably the best player in this years Ivan Hlinka Tournament.  5GP 1G 7A  (lottery pick)

2) Bode Wilde - RHD US National Team Dman who will be attending Harvard this fall. Читать дальше...

If you watch it, you'll know the line I'm talking about. This is a place to share the "things/devices/stuff" that you think are AWESOME and you personally endorse and recommend to friends.

All signs point to Phil Housley being next head coach of the Buffalo Sabres. Question is how soon it will happen.

I'll start it off with baseball playoffs beginning tomorrow! I hate the idea of one-game series as too chancy, but I love the idea for the tension and excitement.
